I believe if mine was setup like yours Will would use a T to tap off of it for the e85. He answered my email moments ago stating that.

sub... this might be a better options than FI since virtually all FI support for LLT is gone

Skullcandy · 04-18-2016, 02:21 PM

He must not like me, hasn't answered me/: lol.

IneedAZ · 04-18-2016, 02:23 PM

i emailed him last week

Skullcandy · 04-18-2016, 02:24 PM

I'm eagerly waiting on info about the plates for nitrous lol.

IneedAZ · 04-18-2016, 02:26 PM

i plan to do the e85 first. Give them time to sort things out on the TB plate and intake tubing for CAI intakes.

Skullcandy · 04-18-2016, 02:35 PM

Yeah, that's another thing looming over my head though. I have a hole in my intake from the nitrous that's causing me to loose power and such. Do we have any good ideas for tubing and such? Also, would we just do a reducing elbow or a whole tube size increase? I feel that would be awesome to increase the whole tube diameter!

thats why i am waiting for it to be sorted out..need a good and reliable option for mounting the maf sensor.

other than the loss of mpg (who cares), are there any physical negatives to the motor while running E85?

Skullcandy · 04-18-2016, 02:42 PM

I concur, just so eager to get a new tube on.

People say that is harsher than gasoline, And it puts more wear and tear on the motor that's not "designed" for it. But these lfx motors are in other cars with flex fuel from the factory so I don't think there's anything other than the MPG tanking.

IneedAZ · 04-18-2016, 02:50 PM

you can still run 93 if you want. If concerned run 93 for 2 weeks straight, then run straight e85 for a 2 weeks. With me approaching 90k miles, i am not gonna worry about it.

Skullcandy · 04-18-2016, 02:51 PM

I was thinking of doing the same thing!! I was just going to alternate. Seems like the best method especially since the station is like 30 mins from me... I'm not worried about anything negative happening. These motors are pretty strong.
